All over the world, for over 40 years, thousands of service people have counted on Techspray cleaners and Plato soldering tips and tools for their electronic repair needs.
Desoldering braid (wick) is an essential electronic repair tool that allows components to be replaced and excess solder (e.g. bridging) to be removed. Techspray offers desoldering wick that has faster wicking action, and no-clean wick that is the cleanest in the industry, making post-repair cleaning optional.
TraceTech PCB repair system allows any level of technician to quickly perform quality board repairs in-house without the use of expensive equipment or time-consuming and unsightly jumpers.
If cleaning is needed after repairing electronics, Techspray flux removers (defluxers) effectively clean off flux residues and other contaminants from printed circuit boards. Residues from higher, lead-free temperatures are more baked on and harder to clean. PWR-4™, G3®, E-LINE™ and Precision-V™ flux removers have been proven very effective at removing fluxes baked on at lead-free temperatures.
Plato is one of the largest manufacturers of solder tips in the world, producing tips to fit all of the most popular solder stations. The long life and fast heat recovery of a Plato solder tip provide the most efficient electronic repair operation possible.
TraceTech No-clean Flux Pen is formulated to perform at the elevated temperatures of lead-free soldering but is also effective for tin-lead soldering as well. It's designed with a low surface tension to prevent bridging. Post-soldering cleaning is optional because the light residue left after soldering is barely noticeable is non-corrosive and halide free. Flux pens are an excellent way to dispense flux for benchtop soldering. You just hold the pen vertically and briefly depress the tip to start the liquid flow. This will saturate the tip of the pen with flux. Draw flux on the area to be soldered. Gently press the tip again when more flux is needed to keep the tip damp with flux.
A common method of repairing a broken trace is to solder on a jumper, which is basically a wire bypass around the broken trace. This can be time-consuming and visually unappealing. Techspray offers TraceTech Conductive Pen, which contains highly conductive silver suspended in a liquid polymer. This pens allows you to literally redraw the trace.
Techspray offers the TraceTech Conformal Coating Remover Pen that allows you to remove a tight area of coating around a repair area without affecting the rest of the PCB. You first saturate the tip by tapping it lightly on a surface, which opens the valve and releases solvent. Holding the tip down may oversaturate it, which could lead to solvent flowing into unintended areas.
